This is the smartwatch I own. True netrunners know that the tech we wear on (or under) our skin is a prime entry vector for ever hungry megacorps to bleed the pulsing data from our digital veins, so having a wearable I have full control over is of paramount importance. I can flash it with new firmware whenever I want, the multiple open source options available are all an open book to any hacker worth their cyberlinguistic salt, and I can know for a fact that it won’t phone home with my location or other data to any corporation behind the scenes. If we are all going to be cyborgs integrating technology onto and eventually into our bodies, better to control that tech ourselves!

      If I go to order, it says

      29.99 USD watch

      11.99 USD shipping

      38.98 USD = € 35.56

      (Czechia)

        That’s the US store, there’s a pine64eu site where the watch is listed as €62. But the cheaper way to order is definitely through the US store, that’s what I did

          The article didn’t mention an EU store and I just went for the first Google result 🤷‍♂️

            Yeah it’s quite hidden for some reason. Oh well, now you know there’s an EU store and that’s where the high price of €62.65 comes from

      For some reason Pine’s EU store is ridiculously overpriced. The pinecil is around £55 if you buy it from the EU store or £47/£55 amazon. I got the pinecil for £33 buying from the US store and just having it shipped over to the UK.

      You could think about doing that for this smartwatch!
